Fave quote so far: about 14 yr old Larry taking the garden hose to hordes of screaming girls trying to invade the first u2 kitchen sessions. And he being already well practiced at this! ROFL....I always wondered how he handled it. Maybe this was why he remained (by his own admission) a virgin at 17...and he met Anne at 18..., I think they knew each other before but I mean in a relationship way....it's like being a rock star already and how do you pick a girl who can just level with you as a friend and not a screaming idol worshipper. And after his mom died, I supppose he put even more value on beginning a relationship with a "real" someone.
Listen to me, this is about Bono and and I'm musing PLEBA-style on Lardence....
Just a thought..Eve at 14 is already absolutely stunning, from all the pics we've seen. Really, Ali all over again, it's scary. I wonder if Bono is ever a little freaked out over his daughter, knowing that she is Ali all over again, and he was dating Ali when she was only a little older than her??? Talk about time being a mind..well, a mind screw-up
.
Actually the first thing I thought of reading that, was the comment about Eve from the "In Conversation" book..how she plays drums...I wonder if she began by the near-universal female idolizing of "uncle" Larry when she was very little...learning drums from him.....and then starting to go to him as she gets older with her own questions on how to keep the boys at bay? If so, I think it would be adorable. Interesting thing to think about... experience though. Being two very good-looking people of different generations, and having a bond that way.
